Spain standS in a very - di:l;J.. ; ent point of view.—A iingto Tyrant, who is anxious to ggt thewhole world into)iis grasp, has ensnare(' the Royal itamilt of Spain into his power, and untler a pretended cession,of the Kingdom, is attempting to reduce, a 1(041, patriotic, and independent people to bondage. The national spirit was roused, and tlni I Spaniards applied to Great. Britain fpr aspstance lii,:;inst her invader--art invader who is at the same ticoe our greatestEnenty, aid whose:succoSs in Spain • might lead. to our ruin; What would have:_, been thonght of us if ' ; we Gad hesitged.4on such en ap peal, nut only to our generosity and to our humanity, bet' to our obvious self-interest ?

But we • are tqld that.

'The hearts of all .men throughout . the world are' against bhp, and'so would be their hands also, if they. had opportunity. The Tyrant betrayed u , consciousness of the horror with which his charaeler i 3 beheld, a touch of nauwe worthy of the attention of the Philo sopher and Moralist, when he tad the Spaniards that if they refused' his brother as' their sing, he would put the Crown'on his own head, and provide for him elsewhere. This declaration manifests a convi6tion that he hal reodered himself the objea ok'uttiver3l terror, and the.; mankiod are likely to prefer ally CA'overoineot to the immediate operation of his cal lous and creel' nature.. We believe that Lord GRZN VILLS win regret that he show. l d , have expressed such sontimenta.respeCting Spain, when 'he finds ; the use which has been made of thom by the pngty writers, and the' senseless comparison to which thtty have resorted, between.
